The Blog for Engineering Managers is written by Stephane Moreau (me). I am a Senior Engineering Manager with over a decade of experience leading engineering teams in high-growth companies.

I am currently working at Zopa Bank as an Engineering Manager leading three teams responsible for AI and Open Banking.

Previously, I have:

I started my career following an unconventional path, dropping out of uni, moving to London with no connections, and getting a software engineering role only three years before transitioning to management.

This newsletter is a reflection of what I have learned along the way, designed to help others navigate challenges with clarity and confidence.
